bag lunches

Brown-sack midday food

Bag lunches are meals packed at home and carried in a bag, typically brown paper, to be eaten elsewhere—at school, work, or on outings.

The term evokes simplicity and economy: The conference provided bag lunches for attendees.

A bag lunch suggests something humble and utilitarian rather than elaborate.
